People all around the globe have been impacted by the COVID-19 global health crisis, which has led to severe mental and psychological health problems and a weakened overall sense of well-being. However, there is not a lot of information available regarding the effect of COVID-19 on Indian instructors. The objective of this research was to discover if COVID-19 impacts the professional teachers' quality of life (QoL) in India. The descriptive study that included 890 licensed teachers was the respondents of this cross-sectional approach. The primary instrument in this research was the COVID-19 Impact on Quality of Life (COV19-QoL). Statistics used to evaluate the data included descriptive statistics, t-test, and one-way ANOVA to measure the effect of COVID-19 on the QoL of instructors. Results showed that it had a modest impact. COVID-19 impacted QoL differently depending on the program degree. The effect of COVID-19 on the patient's overall quality of life did not vary greatly according to age, sex, marital status, employment status, monthly salary, whether or not they had any COVID-19-related cases near their home, whether or not they knew anyone who had contracted or died from COVID-19, and whether or not they believed they were at risk. Teachers' mental health and quality of life must also be attended to, and supports must be offered to enable them to cope with the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research has added to the increasing body of literature on the pandemic's effect, making it an important source of data for future investigations.
